39. Train workers who will be paid $7 ph, versus more hours for person making $10 ph

It all in the math. Scum sucking asshats. Instead of keeping a valued hard working person (although I wouldn't call paying someone $10 per hour valuing that person) they have you basically training your replacements.

Good Luck! Sekhmets Daughter Dec 2012 #1
